Really?  From the time on jaromil's archived email (assuming UTC) - https://lists.dyne.org/lurker/message/2 … 43.en.html - I would have been sound asleep when it happened.

As to your sig etc. . . . it is an empty, adolescent gesture that accomplishes nothing of value but does create an environment that is  equally toxic as the one that you are opposing.   I keep hoping that maybe you'll grow up some day . . .

One more thing to try.  I also have libgphoto2-port12 version 2.5.8-1~bpo8+1 installed.  This was likely just a fluke because early on amprolla was merging bpo into the main repos.   Took me a while to catch on to that so I do have some bpo mixed in that I ordinarily wouldn't have.  But perhaps that's what gphoto2 needs?  If all else fails, maybe a card reader would work?

I have an old Canon Powershot (PTP) that wouldn't mount on Jessie.  I can't remember how I got it working but it now automounts at gphoto2://[usb:001,056]/ with root permissions.  A notification pops up and the directory appears in the Thunar side pane tree.

That directory contains these sub-directories,
    DCIM - photos are here
    MISC - empty

So you might want to install gphoto2 and see if it can find your camera at least.  Some searching on the above might give you additional hints.  No clues about your phone - don't have one.

Are you talking about https://gnuetertics.org?  If so you should probably correct the spelling in the title.

This has been debated since the beginning of the fork.   Since newer versions of Firefox require PA, our choice is to capitulate or devise a rock solid way to use apulse instead.

Sure, please do.

More likely for your user info and footer . . .      Perhaps you'd like to change it?

No, not a star.  It's the name of a minor planet in our solar system. 

To clarify . . . from  https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=4081#p4081

Do you login with slim?  Maybe try lightdm?  Or possibly set the resolution in xorg.conf?  I haven't had to do any of that in years but can remember when it was necessary.

I surrender . . . Someone else with psychic powers and more patience that I is going to have to continue this adventure down a rabbit hole.  Better yet I'm just going to lock this thread and put it out of its misery.

Attachments are not allowed on the forum.  We hope to have something similar to http://paste.debian.net/ someday.  But for now please chose a third party document posting site and link to it in your post.

Yeah saw it in the backlog and just now connected it to you.     I can't remember if it was actually solved. (Too much to remember . . .)  A bug report is a more permanent way of recording it.  irc logs quickly fade into oblivion.
